I underwent a combination of a facelift, fat grafting, a lip lift, and upper/lower blepharoplasty…read morewith Dr. Karam in September 2023. Unfortunately, I am deeply unhappy with the results and the total lack of accountability regarding my concerns. My cheeks are noticeably uneven; one side remains significantly larger than the other. Now that over two years have passed since my procedure, I have developed deep irregularities (uneven and lumpy texture) across my cheeks and under my eyes. Instead of a smooth transition, the texture is uneven and looks unnatural. The lip lift left a very prominent and obvious scar underneath my nose. It is not the hidden or discreet result I was led to believe. Despite the facelift, I have an excessive amount of wrinkles around my neck, chin, and mouth area. As time goes on, the hollows and unevenness are becoming more pronounced rather than settling. The cost of these procedures was incredibly high. I feel that the premium prices patients pay are for his massive marketing and social media production, not for superior surgical skill. For the amount of money spent, one expects precision and personalized care, neither of which I received. When I met with Dr. Karam via Zoom four months post-op to express my dissatisfaction, he was dismissive. He refused to guarantee any revision work to correct these clear issues. It is now clear that this is a mass production practice where the focus is on bringing in new clients through polished social media photos rather than ensuring the long-term quality of the work. I deeply regret my decision. I am now forced to seek out another surgeon to perform an expensive revision to fix the damage. Please do your research beyond social media before choosing this clinic.

It has been over six months since my facelift, and I have not noticed any changes. I have called…read morethe doctor several times and informed the staff that I have not seen any improvements. The doctor advised me to wait a few more months, but I find this response unhelpful. I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. The procedure was a complete waste of money, and the price charged was six times higher than that of other doctors in the same field. I deeply regret going to this doctor and would not recommend anyone spend such a significant amount for results that fail to meet expectations. I will not recommend!

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Chasan, since my insurance could not do the surgery for another couple months. Once I stepped in Ranch and Coast, Dr. C explained his approach, I canceled with the other doctor, even though my insurance was going to pay for a large portion. Dr. C spent quite a while with me, answered all of my questions. I always feel like once you get in front of a Dr they make you rush, you end up, leaving with more questions and then answers. That was not the case at Ranch and Coast! I immediately felt a huge relief, and knew it was going to be a great outcome. Jennifer, from the surgery scheduling department really made me feel comfortable. And made the process extremely easy. I was dealing with two ruptured silicone implants from a previous surgeon, and was dealing with a lot of pain and infection. So getting me booked ASAP was a huge part of this as well. I was booked for surgery within 10 days of my consult, which was amazing! I was up and feeling great the next day, and they were already looking perfect! Dr Chasan minimized my previous scars, and did not require making it anymore. That was another reason I chose not to go to the other surgeon. It's been exactly 11 days since my surgery, I am so unbelievably happy! Not only am I feeling so much better from the removal of ruptured silicone, but they look so great. Love the cleavage and the way Doctor Chasan does breast surgery. I would highly recommend, and I already have. Two of my girlfriends are in the process of scheduling consults, after seeing how great mine look! I can confidently say he's one of the best surgeons in San Diego!

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Chasan in January 2024 after researching surgeons for nearly a year. I…read morefound him on Reddit and was initially drawn to his specialization in the "Barbie-style" nose, which is surprisingly hard to find in the U.S. He also had overwhelmingly positive reviews, and I couldn't find any meaningful negative feedback, which gave me a lot of confidence. Since I'm not local, most communication was done by phone and email. His staff was initially very responsive and helpful, and my consultation, though brief, felt aligned. Based on that, I scheduled surgery the same day. Things started to feel off at my in-person pre-op appointment the day before surgery. I expected to meet Dr. Chasan for the first time, but instead was seen only by a nurse who seemed disengaged. The appointment consisted of photos and basic instructions. When I asked if I could meet the doctor, I was told he was unavailable. This made me uneasy, but with surgery the next day and already paid for, I felt I had no choice but to move forward. The morning of surgery, I was brought back and expected to proceed without seeing the surgeon. I had to specifically ask to meet with him before anything began. That conversation was brief but reassuring. We aligned on the aesthetic goals, which gave me some relief. The surgery itself went smoothly, and Dr. Chasan did call me the evening after surgery to check in. I am overall satisfied with my result. However, I do have a slight inverted V, which is concerning, as I worry it may worsen over time and potentially require correction in the future. I'm hopeful that being two years out it won't worsen, however I haven't been given the opportunity to speak with Dr. Chasan to ask about this. Unfortunately, the post-operative care is where my experience completely broke down. I had a scheduled post-op phone appointment with Dr. Chasan that he never attended- he never called. When I reached out to the office, I was not connected with him and was instead put on the phone with a nurse. I never actually spoke with the surgeon. I later followed up via email and was told that I was the one who failed to follow up, which was simply not true. After correcting this, the staff member apologized. Despite that, I have still never heard from Dr. Chasan again. For a procedure as significant as rhinoplasty, the lack of follow-up and accountability was extremely disappointing. While I am generally happy with my result, the absence of proper post-operative care and communication is something I cannot overlook.

I don't…read morehave words to express my gratitude and the remarkable experience I had being the patient of Dr Abboud. I had an accident when I was three where I knocked the corner of a chair when I was running and the chair fell on my left eye causing it to bleed continuously. My parents brought me to urgent care where the doctor simply put a few stitches to stop the bleeding. The doctor at that time wasn't an eye specialist and the botched job caused me to have ptosis and visible scar on my left eye growing up. Two years ago when taking photos, I noticed my droopy eyelid got worse. I found Dr Abboud online from all the amazing reviews, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. Dr Abboud did a fantastic job fixing my droopy eyelid. I was worried at first because my eye blood vessel bursted the night before I'm supposed to remove my stitches, and my eye bled continuously. Dr Abboud remains available despite it being late night, calmed me and helped answered the questions from UCSD emergency room staff. He immediately identified the issue the next day I went to him and cauterized the bursted blood vessel. Despite the hiccups, the outcome is amazing. My scar at left eye fades, and my eyelid is lifted just right. Also huge shoutout to his amazing staff Celine who's been super friendly and helpful with all the paperwork for my leave.

After seeing other doctors before and after photos, I was convinced I wouldn't look even close to myself afterwards and be permanently disformed. One even said "well your not going to be perfect!", and would leave in tears. During my consultation with Dr. Pacella, not only did he make me feel heard, but seeing his work and confidence, he mentioned to me "Are you kidding, I'm going to make you look even better when I'm done", and he did!! I have had issues with the recovering process that had nothing to do with his work and I have had nothing but the best service. I am very pleased with the results and recommend anyone going through that tough experience to go to him, because you are definitely in good hands! He is a perfectionist and will make sure you are perfect until you're done.

I had no doubt I would come back to Dr. Alexander when the time was right and I am so happy I did. If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only a master at his craft but also shows up for his patients with amazing care and support Dr. Alexander is it! I am not only thrilled with my results, but the process from start to finish has been seamless. Any question or concern I had post surgery was answered immediately by Dr. Alexander himself who even took time out of his weekend to address a concern I had. The staff has been nothing short of amazing and I have always been treated with kindness and respect with every call and appointment. I am not usually one to give reviews, but in this case I am more than happy to give a shoutout to Dr. Alexander and his team in hopes of helping others. You will not be disappointed! I am currently still in the healing phase 2 months post op but I can honestly say I cannot wait for wedding photos this May.

With several…read moredecades of experience, a genuine desire to give his patients the highest quality, and the goal to always provide his honest professional opinion, he is what surgeons should strive to be like. I went to him for a rhinoplasty just a week ago, and he is so meticulous about making sure we have all the follow-up appts necessary for a successful recovery. I also got a sneak peek at my new nose and I'm loving it!!!! Still swollen but already looking amazing! He also did fat grafts on my cheek and some other areas of my face. Those lines that started to set in my face are gone. Good riddance! How can I not mention the Singer dream team? Seriously the best. That team is composed of Dr. Singer of course, Nurse Lyn, Julie, and Jade! Julie was the first person I spoke to when setting up the consultation and I just adored her from the start. She makes every step of the journey an easy one and she takes care of you like your the most important patient. Jade works alongside her and is such a sweetheart. Nurse Lyn is on her A-game. You know you're in good hands with her - she answered my many questions very promptly and was just so helpful. Really, everyone is fantastic in that office. It is no exaggeration when I say that I feel like I am amongst friends. I mean, it doesn't get any better than that. I could go on and on but I think you're getting the picture here. If you're looking for a good surgeon and an extraordinary team to boot, look no further than Dr. Singer's office at Prime Plastic Surgery.

Through out every appointment he always seemed rushed and irritated, as if my questions were an inconvenience. Every visit felt uncomfortable and dismissive and he always seemed like he was trying to get out of the room as soon as possible. After my rhinoplasty, my nose was left asymmetrical, with a large residual bump, a droopy tip, and hanging columella which haven't improved over time. My nose looks completely different when looking at it from the right versus the left because of this bump. When I brought up my concerns, the doctor refused to acknowledge any issue and dismissed it by saying he doesn't know what I'm talking about and that he thinks "my nose looks fine". He offered to "file it down" in-office for another $2,000 -- but even it was completely free I wouldn't trust him to do it. I met with two other surgeons who also agree that with my concerns but Dr Mofid couldn't even bring himself to acknowledge the lack of quality in his results. The gynecomastia surgery was also unsatisfactory. My chest was left uneven, with one areola becoming inverted and the other remaining puffy. My concerns were brushed off with little to no explanation or care. After seeing other patients report similar experiences, I wish I had listened sooner. Please take those reviews seriously and avoid this doctor at all costs. Find a surgeon who listens, values their patients, and stands behind their results.
